Karramarro Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s break it down.

First spot is Karramarro. Water temp is 73°, which is a solid 5° above the normal for this time of year. That’s notably warm, so you can go light on the rubber.

The first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 12th has pathetic 2ft WNW swell with a short 8-second period and barely any energy (59). The morning’s glassy but it’s not worth paddling out for. Sunday the 13th morning is the first real peek: 4ft NW groundswell, period up to 13 seconds, and combined energy at a moderate 543. Winds are flat calm – glass. That’s your first decent session, but it’s only the morning before the breeze gets cross-on. This is a point break, and it’s inconsistent – rarely breaks – so you’ve got to be on it. It’s also advanced only, and crowds are often when it’s working, so you won’t be alone.

There’s a dry stretch after Tuesday the 15th. The swell drops and onshores ruin things from Wednesday the 16th right through Friday the 18th. A few days of nothing.

Now for the real gem: Monday the 21st of September. Morning has 5ft NW groundswell, a very long 15-second period, combined energy at a strong 1090, and glassy winds. That’s the session to circle on the calendar. The long period will give the point long, lined-up walls. The afternoon jumps to 7ft and gets cross-on, so you want to be done by lunch.

Tuesday the 22nd morning is another good one: 5ft NW, 13-second period, 878 energy, and glassy winds. That’s a strong backup.

The end of the month has some clean cross-off days around the 24th with chest-high sets, but nothing touches that Monday the 21st.

To wrap it up: this spot is inconsistent, but when it fires, like Monday the 21st, it’s the real deal. It’s advanced-only and often crowded, so get there early.

Rusty.
